So after getting access to the TM WebServices (thanks for this ), I of course tried to write a simple script, calling the NickName to a login. And I had to notice, that the SDK is currently not working under PHP 5.2.x (exactly 5.2.14), whereas the Requirements say "PHP 5.2 or newer".


In detail, I found the following errors/problems so far:

• Fatal error: func_get_args(): Can't be used as a function parameter in /.../trackmania-ws.php on line 72 (and other lines)
  This error is caused due to using the func_get_args() as a parameter for another method call, and seems not to be possible as of PHP 5.2.
  Workaround:
  Replace all similar lines to

  Code: Select all

  return $this->executeGET('/tmf/players/%s/', func_get_args());

  with e.g.

  Code: Select all

  $params = get_func_args();
  return $this->executeGET('/tmf/players/%s/', $params);

• Fatal error: Call to undefined function json_last_error() in /.../trackmania-ws.php on line 474
  json_last_error() has been introduced with PHP 5.3, and seems not to have any replacement in PHP 5.2 though. I think the only possibility on this point is to remove the error handling in case of PHP 5.2, and to only differentiate between "well formed JSON" and "malformed JSON" without any deeper debugging information.

It would be nice, if you can handle these errors to make the SDK compatible to PHP 5.2, rather than changing the requirements to PHP 5.3

Indeed, since most of the production servers (hosters) are still using 5.2

Thanks for the report. We indeed wanted to make à 5.2 SDK although all our codebase is 5.3. I'll update the SDK to make it compatible.

I fixed that in 0.3, should be working now. I left the json_last_error but with a function_exists check before.

It works. Thanks for the fix.

Thanks for the update

I found another use of json_last_error() in line 493

Yes, that one occurence in line 474 has its function_exists() around, but the second occurence in line line 494 (within the if-statement) is missing this check and thus still producing a Fatal Error

Okay, I'm stupid
Thanks for the report, I'll update to 0.4 right away

SDK updated, it should work know
